What the System Does:

• It moves wealth upward.

• It shields institutions from accountability.

• It converts crises into expansions of technocratic power.

• It ensures that the people who bear the losses - pensioners, depositors, taxpayers - have no meaningful say in the rules that produced those losses.

• It writes the next chapter of control before the current chapter collapses, then waits for the collapse to make the chapter look like a rescue.

• It removes constraints so bubbles can form, then blames the bubbles on market excess, then demands more authority to prevent the next one.

• It maintains the fiction of democratic control over economic policy while steadily transferring that control to bodies beyond electoral reach.

That’s what it does. So that’s what it’s for.
